So I went to visit my dress and veil today, and it's so much more gorgeous than I remembered, and all my stupid second guessing has flown right out the window. It's definitely the perfect dress for me!
Granted I'm the boobless wonder and it needs major overhauling in the bust and the hips, but overall it's pretty close to what the finished product will look like. Had my shoes, DOJ, tiara, everything...I was so worried it was going to be short, but it's perfect!
Don't mind my stupid monkey faces in the first few, it's a damn good thing I have a great photographer
Let me know what you think about going with the earrings, tiara, AND necklace with the veil...we were concerned it would be too much, but because I'm so tall and I have so much exposed skin/long hair, it wasn't too bad, but my mom thinks the chain on the necklace is cheap looking. I can take the honesty, so let me know!

Very pretty. IMO though, with an embellished dress, a tiara and a beaded veil you don't even need the necklace.

Haha no that makes sense...I feel like a clumsy baby giraffe or something LOL.
Luckily my necklace has the type of chain where it has that extra tail piece so you can adjust it, and I had it at the tightest one, so it can be dropped a bit lower on the neckline...maybe I'll see how that looks.
Thanks everyone!

Looks great! The necklace looks delicate and thin from your photos, so I think it will look great for the day of! congrats! Did you have to get extra length when ordering your dress?

Surprisingly enough, no extra length. I wanted it, because the sample dress was short on me, even though I ordered the same size as the sample. They told me no, that I wouldn't need it, so I was panicking until today, so thank God!

That's a major relief then huh?! good, unfortunately I had to go with the extra b/c the bottom of mine was floating and looked like I was levitating!
